1. 9/25 Daily Catalyst Pg. 25 Comparative Anatomy
1. How could radioactive dating help analyze a fossil?
A) Determining the fossil’s age.
B) Determining whether the fossil was animal or a plant.
C) Determining the mass of the fossil.
D) Determining the size of the fossil.
2. The odd beetle lives in Asia and North America. It normally feeds on animal fur and hair. During the winter time, animals fur are long and plentiful, but during the summer, animals lose their fur coat. How would the odd beetle population be effected, if global warming continues to rise the earth’s average temperature?

2. The odd beetle lives in Asia and North America. It normally feeds on animal fur and hair. During the winter time, animals fur is long and plentiful, but during the summer, animals lose their fur coat. How would the odd beetle population be effected, if global warming continues to rise the earth’s average temperature?
We would see the odd beetle population decline until it adapted to a new food source because the animals hair would be much shorter with the warm weather.

5. 9/25 Objective
We will be able to explain how anatomical evidence supports Darwin’s theory of evolution.

6. Darwin believed in natural selection: good traits

7. Darwin’s evidence Pg. 22
Fossils
Comparative Anatomy

8. Explore Activity As a table group, complete the explore activity.
There may be some unfamiliar vocabulary terms. Give me your best effort!
Time: 12 minutes

9. NOTE TIME!! Key Point #1: Define Anatomy: The study of structures
Today, we will compare anatomy of various organisms and look at how organisms have evolved over time to better adapt to their environment.

10. Comparative Anatomy
There are 3 types of structures we will look at today.
Homologous
Analogous
Vestigial
Be ready to take some notes!

11. What do you notice about these structures?
Common Ancestor
They have similar bones. Do all of these organisms have the same bones? No, just similar. Do all of these structures have the same function? No. what is the same with these organisms? They have the same ancestor.

12. What do you notice about these structures?

13. Key Point #1: Homologous:
Organisms have the SAME ancestor, but structures have different functions.
Why?
Do they share DNA? Yes, that is why they have similar bones.

14. Homologous Structures
Evidence: Show that two species evolved from a common ancestor

15. What do these organisms have in common?
These organisms all have large ears. Why? They all live in a similar environment which is hot and the ears disspate heat.

16. What do these organisms have in common?

17. 2. Many different species that live in the same environment have similar adaptations
Key Point #2:
Analogous:
DIFFERENT structures used for a similar purpose. These organisms have different ancestors.

18. Analogous Structures
Evidence for Evolution – show that when organisms live in similar environments, they will adapt in the same way to survive.

19. What is the purpose of wisdom teeth?
They used to have a purpose, but they are no longer needed.

20. Why do whales have hip bones if they don’t have legs?
They are no longer needed

21. 3. Many species have unnecessary body parts
Key Point #3:
Vestigial:
Body parts that are no longer used

22. (they once needed the structure and now they do not!)
Vestigial Structures
Evidence for Evolution - Show that a species has changed over time
(they once needed the structure and now they do not!)

23. Practice Time!

24. Analogous: similar function
Is the body shape, homologous, analogous, or vestigial?
Analogous: similar function

25. Homologous, analogous, or vestigial?
Analogous: similar functions

26. Letter “c” = hind legs of a baleen whale skeleton
Vestigial: no longer used!!!

27. HOMOLOGOUS: similar bone structure
Guided Practice (GP)
Alligators and bats have the same bone structure in their forelimbs (front legs for alligators, wings for bats).
HOMOLOGOUS: similar bone structure
After revealing the correct answer, ask random students to explain how the structure supports evolution

28. VESTIGIAL Guided Practice (GP)
Humans have wisdom teeth (third molars), even though they are not needed to chew up food.
After revealing the correct answer, ask random students to explain how the structure supports evolution
VESTIGIAL

29. Guided Practice (GP) ANALOGOUS
Birds and insects both have wings to fly the sky
After revealing the correct answer, ask random students to explain how the structure supports evolution
ANALOGOUS

30. Guided Practice (GP) VESTIGIAL
Snakes don’t have legs, but they do have small hip and leg bones.
After revealing the correct answer, ask random students to explain how the structure supports evolution
VESTIGIAL

33. Name Exit Ticket #6 This type of structure…
1. An organism has this structure, but no longer uses this structure.
2. Is seen in multiple organisms because it came from a common ancestor.
3. Is seen in multiple organisms because they live in similar environments.
4. How are fossils used as evidence for the theory of evolution? (2-3 complete sentences)
Student Choice – there’s a WOW factor!

34. Name Exit Ticket #6 This type of structure…

Vestigial
2. Is seen in multiple organisms because it came from a common ancestor.
Homologous
3. Is seen in multiple organisms because they live in similar environments.
Analogous
4. How are fossils used as evidence for the theory of evolution?
Fossils are used as evidence for evolution because fossils show us that organisms have changed over time and organisms have had to adapt to changes in the environment to survive.
Student Choice – there’s a WOW factor!

35. Eyeless salamanders have eye sockets because the used to have eyes
They live in caves. Siiick.

36. Yes they, do!

43. The gene pool
All of the ___________ present in a population of _________.
Today, we have been talking about anatomy that is proof of the evolution theory. What is the main idea of this unit? Survival! Organisms with evolve or adapt over time to survive and be able to reproduce. As animals evolve new characteristics are introduced or disappear. All of the genes present in a population of species is called the gene pool.

44. Over time, the gene pool changes!
New genes are introduced by :_________ & _________
Old genes disappear because ______________________________ _____________
Adaptions and mutations
They do not help survival

45. What else could lead to the gene pool changing?
Predators could lead to the gene pool changing by killing off too many of one species.

46. What do species do to survive?

47. Over time, the gene frequency will change due to predators, resources and environmental changes.
